Category Archives: Impacted Wisdom Teeth

What we call wisdom teeth are actually “third molars”, meaning those molars that usually appear in the jaw between ages 16 and 24, though sometimes they appear as late as the early 30s.

Unfortunately, when molars do finally try to break through your jaw and gums there is rarely enough room for them to fully come through. And while 65% of the general population has molars, some 85% of those teeth eventually require extraction.

At Smart Smile Dental, we are experts in assessing and treating wisdom teeth, from explaining the special care of them at home, to extraction if they become dangerous to your dental health.
